There is a 76 off I-78 in Jersey about 7 miles this side of the PA line. <br /> <br />Parking problems that time. Cops were in force writing tickets. One trucker pulled out of the no parking I pulled into his spot. Walked into the restraunt while angry bear was writing one down the line. <br /> <br />Eat dinner and watch about 6 officers show up, and continued to eat dinner very slowly watching them across the road. <br /> <br />3 hours later I came out to the rig and all 7 were irate. They were very angry that they lost command of the english language. Between shouted gibberish reinforced by spittle I gathered that I will be: <br /> <br />1- Inspected <br />2- Rechecked <br />3- papers checked, load checked <br />4- weighed <br />5- ticketed <br />6- charged and hauled off to jail <br />7 billed for delay of law enforcement personel <br /> <br />and any number of dire problems ranging from casteration to the spanish inqusition. <br /> <br />Seeing both sides with doors open in the cab and several pairs of boots swinging as all of them fought thier way into the cab was one for the books. I didnt know that many could fit in at once. <br /> <br />$130 dollars later I headed on my way. I suppose it was worth it to just sit for 3 hours at dinner (and desert, conversta5tion coffee etc) while they waited.
